I gave a four-star rating to "Sin City," the 2005 film based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller. Now, as I deserve, I get "300," based on another work by Miller. Of the earlier film, I wrote prophetically: "This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids." They must have been buying steroids wholesale for "300." Every single male character, including the hunchback, has the muscles of a finalist for Mr. Universe. Both films are faithful

life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies!” (Miller 1333). The Puritans highly value the quality of having a good reputation. John Proctor would rather die than have his name ruined for a lie. He does not want to ruin the Proctor name for him or his descendants, so he decides to honor the truth and be hanged. John does not want his name publicly ruined: “Is there no good penitence but it be public? God does not need my name nailed upon the church” (Miller 1332). John Proctor signed his name and confessed

The Salem split “Yes, hang him!.. No, he’s innocent”, shout the people of the city. Persecutions can tear a society apart! One book that displays a torn society is The Crucible by Arthur Miller. This story is about the Salem witch trials in the late 1600s. The Salem society in The Crucible is a great example of the theme, persecution of the innocent destroys society, because of the blame of innocent people, lying to save’s one life, and factionalism in the community.

"The Crucible" Hanging Ending? "The Crucible" was a 1953 play written by Arthur Miller that focuses in on Salem Massachusetts in the breaking point of the 1690's.

“We are what we always were in Salem, but now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes the law!”(77). The people in Salem don’t base their opinion on facts. The possibility of witches in their village brings mass hysteria to the people.

Arthur Miller specifically wrote The Crucible about The Red Scare so this generation could know how there was a lack of knowledge among the men and women in the court. “It would probably never have occurred to me to write a play about the Salem witch trials of 1692 had I not seen some astonishing correspondences with that calamity in the America of the
